A multiunit building in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco had residents who were not receiving hot water. The existing water heaters were over 12 years old, had rust on the bottom, and were leaking.
Heises Plumbing replaced two 40-gallon short water heaters with AO Smith commercial water heaters. The work also included replacing the water supply lines and control valves as part of the water heater installation in Castro, San Francisco.

A traditional tank water heater should be evaluated for replacement when it begins leaking from the tank, no longer heats water reliably, shows significant corrosion, or has reached the later years of its expected service life. A leaking storage tank generally requires replacement rather than repair.
Many standard tank water heater replacements can be completed the same day. Installation time depends on access, the existing plumbing and venting, required code upgrades, and whether additional work is needed for the new water heater.
Yes. Water heaters in California generally need to be properly secured with approved seismic straps or bracing to reduce movement during an earthquake. Water heater installations must also meet applicable plumbing, safety, venting, and local code requirements.
Standard tank water heater installations by Heises Plumbing include a 6-year manufacturer warranty on the tank and a 1-year Heises Plumbing warranty on parts and labor. Warranty terms for the specific installed equipment should also be confirmed with the applicable manufacturer documentation.
